A new round of WikiLeaks documents released Tuesday reveal a March 2015 exchange between Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and confidant Cheryl Mills on the need to “dump” emails.

Twitter’s trending news feed was dominated by #PodestaEmails25 after a new batch of stolen documents belonging to John Podesta were posted online. A March 2, 2015, discussion between Mrs. Clinton’s top advisers shows Mr. Podesta expressing a desire to “dump all those emails.”

“On another matter and not to sound like Lanny, but we are going to have to dump all those emails so better to do so sooner than later,” Mr. Podesta said after hearing about a new hire.

Mr. Podesta’s reference to “Lanny” was a reference to Lanny Davis, a well-known lawyer who served as former President Bill Clinton’s special counsel.

“Think you just got your new nick name,” Mrs. Mills replied to Mr. Podesta the following day.

“We are not talking about Bill Clinton, what happened in his administration doesn’t matter.”

“Do you think Bush never did that?”

I think the oddest argument I’ve heard was one put out by some Dems trying to spin this as Podesta wasn’t referencing “dumping” the emails as in destroying or deleting. What he really meant (and Dems love to interpret for us what people really mean) was they should be dumped by the Clinton campaign into the media. After all, they have nothing to hide. It’s not like there was anything controversial or potentially damaging in the correspondence. :rolleyes:

Oh my gosh, what a spin.

Right, dump all of the stupid, immoral, illegal things they contain out into the public media.

Are all these email dumps making any sort of difference in Clinton’s polling? I have my doubts.

One of my liberal Facebook friends posted a meme saying “Tell me about the Clinton emails again” with a picture of a bunch of people sitting at desks while falling asleep. I think a lot of people just don’t understand what the big deal is about the emails. They are probably thinking, “I delete my own emails all the time, what’s the big deal?” And the bits that show up in the news aren’t easy to understand for the casual observer. Not as easy, certainly, as the recording of Trump.

Which n and of itself is a very telling and sad indictment re HC supporters by and large!

Her campaign knew Weiner was sexting with underage girls before it became an issue for the legal system, and said nothing. Doing that destroyed the reputation of Joe Paterno, for less good reasons in Joe’s defense.

That excuse was proven false when Clinton used Bleachbit on those emails a few days after that email was received…

If all the HRC supporters are ok with her breaking laws relating to classified emails, then surely breaking other laws is acceptable too. I guess thats why all the FOPs are behind trump.

For typocal citizens I think the violations are something that are intangible to a lot of people. If you had a person that had not heard any of the news stories and told them “Hilary Clinton had an email server at home that she used for work” I don’t think it would have raised any eye brows to a typical citizen.

In general while people use email I think there is very little understanding of how it works. The difference between destructive and non-destructive deletes are not general knowledge. A person would have to be informed it’s against a regulation and told what risks could come from it. Even in the lack of understanding about how emails and servers if there were a tangible consequence that did occur (instead of hypothetical situations that could have occurred or beliefs on things that *possibly * have happened opinions might be less sit.

DeniseNY:

Bleachbit? What, like Clorox?

That’s the metaphor! It’s one of many destructive delete utilities. BleachBit.org now has a picture of Clinton on their product image.
